Test Drive for September 2013 Apps

[highseasmods]

Welcome to our first Test Drive for high_seas! Here is where players can test out their characters' voices, try out new muses, and everyone can help each other get some threads for their applications! Feel free to use one of the prompts below, or come up with something on your own! Comment around, have fun, and remember that any CR formed here does not carry over to the game!

See you during the application round!

♦ So you're new to this world and have just woken up in the Town Square. How do you react? What do you do?

♦ You're lost at sea. Maybe you got separated from your crew. Or perhaps you're on an abandoned island. You need help!

♦ "Pirates off the starboard bow!" It's an enemy ship! Attack!!

♦ You and your crew are hanging out on your ship. Just another day at sea!

♦ "LAND, HO!" Hey look, a new island! How about you go explore it? Tell us what you find!

Wha-huh? [That smile looks somewhat... no, he won't say terrifying... but really now, those teeth are nothing to laugh at and Salem's just a house cat!]

Oh, nope; not from here, anyway. Been to something...somewhat like this before though, I guess you could say.

B-but hey! What're the odds of two talking cats in this town, huh? Hate to ask what the Witches Council got you for!

[And he really would... Darn that stupid curiosity and cats thing.]

[le_juge]

Ah, my apologies, then. I should not have assumed.

[The Judge doesn't know of any expression regarding curiosity and felines. The only thing that kills this cat is a man wielding a baseball bat.]

I've never heard of this "Witches Council" of which you speak, I'm afraid. The place I'm from has no witches to speak of.

I am known as... [A brief pause. He almost says 'Pablo.' It's so easy to become familiar with a fellow cat.] The Judge. Are talking cats not common in your home?

[worldclassfeliney]

Eh, no harm done.

[So this cat wasn't a former witch, huh? Whoops... not that there can be that much harm in mentioning magic to a talking cat, witch or not, he figures. There's definitely gotta be something supernatural involved, at any rate.]

The Judge, huh? Wonder what Jury and Executioner look like. I'm Salem Saberhagen, though my...servants call me "my liege."

[Hey, who said he couldn't make things up? he thinks with an inner grin.] I've run into a few talking cats in my time, but not so much here in the mortal realm.

oh wow i sure messed up the coding in that last post

[le_juge]

The executioner of my homeland is not someone you should wish to meet, dear Liege. Let us leave it at that.

[The Judge is completely serious in calling Salem by that name. Titles are titles, after all. You can't expect yours to be respected if you aren't willing to respect the titles of others.]

They aren't common where I'm from, either. Just myself and my dear brother.

[Another pause. The Judge looks distastefully at the fountain on which they sit. He's never really seen water before.]

Tell me, Liege. What is this fluid flowing from the fountain before us? It looks... unpleasantly wet.
